Inireklamo ni Job ang Ginagawa ng Masama
24 “Bakit di nagtatakda ang Makapangyarihang Diyos ng araw ng paghuhukom,
upang masaksihan ng mga matuwid ang kanyang paghatol?
2 “Binabago ng mga tao ang hangganan ng mga lupa,
nagnanakaw ng mga hayop na iba ang nag-alaga.
3 Tinatangay nila ang asno ng mga ulila,
kinakamkam sa mga biyuda ang bakang isinangla.
4 Ang mahirap ay itinataboy sa lansangan;
at dahil sa takot, naghahanap ito ng taguan.
5 “Kaya ang dukha, tulad ay asnong mailap,
hinahalughog ang gubat,
mapakain lang ang anak.
6 Gumagapas sila sa bukid na hindi kanila,
natirang ubas ng mga masasama pinupulot nila.
7 Kanilang katawan ay walang saplot;
sa lamig ng gabi, wala man lamang kumot.
8 Nauulanan sila doon sa kabundukan;
mga pagitan ng bato ang kanilang silungan.
9 “Inaalipin ng masasama ang mga ulila;
mga anak ng may utang, kanilang kinukuha.
10 Hubad na pinaglalakad ang mga mahirap,
labis ang gutom habang sila'y pinapagapas.
11 Sila ang nagkakatas ng ubas at olibo,
ngunit di man lamang makatikim ng alak at langis nito.
12 Mga naghihingalo at mga sugatan, sa loob ng lunsod ay nagdadaingan,
ngunit di pa rin pansin ng Diyos ang kanilang panawagan.
13 “May mga taong nagtatakwil sa liwanag;
di nila ito maunawaan, patnubay nito'y ayaw sundan.
14 Bumabangon ang mamamatay-tao sa madaling araw,
at ang kawawang dukha'y kanyang pinapaslang.
Pagsapit naman ng gabi, siya ay nagnanakaw.
15 Ang nakikiapid ay naghihintay na dumilim,
nagtatakip ng mukha upang walang makapansin.
16 Kung gabi naman sumasalakay ang mga magnanakaw;
ayaw nila sa liwanag kaya't nagtatago pagsikat ng araw.
17 Liwanag ng araw ay kanilang kinatatakutan,
ngunit di sila nasisindak sa matinding kadiliman.”
18 Sinabi ni Zofar,
“Ang masamang tao'y tinatangay ng baha,
sinumpa ng Diyos ang kanilang lupa;
sa ubasan nila'y ni walang mangahas magsaka.
19 Kung paanong ang yelo ay natutunaw sa tag-init,
gayundin ang masama, naglalaho sa daigdig.
20 Kahit ang kanyang ina sa kanya'y nakakalimot;
parang punong nabuwal, inuuod at nabubulok.
21 Pagkat inapi niya ang babaing di nagkaanak,
at ang mga biyuda ay kanyang hinamak.
22 Winawasak ng Diyos ang buhay ng malalakas;
kapag siya ay kumilos, ang masama'y nagwawakas.
23 Hayaan man ng Diyos na mabuhay ito nang tiwasay,
sa bawat sandali, siya'y nagbabantay.
24 Umunlad man ang masama, ngunit panandalian lamang,
natutuyo ring tulad ng damo at halaman,
parang bungkos ng inani na binunot sa taniman.
25 Kasinungalingan ba ang sinasabi ko?
Sinong makapagpapatunay na ito'y di totoo?”
Job 24
New International Version
Job 24
New International Version
24 “Why does the Almighty not set times(A) for judgment?(B)
Why must those who know him look in vain for such days?(C)
2 There are those who move boundary stones;(D)
they pasture flocks they have stolen.(E)
3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(F)
4 They thrust the needy(G) from the path
and force all the poor(H) of the land into hiding.(I)
5 Like wild donkeys(J) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(K) of foraging food;
the wasteland(L) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(M) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(N) of the wicked.(O)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(P)
8 They are drenched(Q) by mountain rains
and hug(R) the rocks for lack of shelter.(S)
9 The fatherless(T) child is snatched(U) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(V) for a debt.(W)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(X)
they carry the sheaves,(Y) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(Z) yet suffer thirst.(AA)
12 The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.(AB)
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.(AC)
13 “There are those who rebel against the light,(AD)
who do not know its ways
or stay in its paths.(AE)
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
kills(AF) the poor and needy,(AG)
and in the night steals forth like a thief.(AH)
15 The eye of the adulterer(AI) watches for dusk;(AJ)
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’(AK)
and he keeps his face concealed.
16 In the dark, thieves break into houses,(AL)
but by day they shut themselves in;
they want nothing to do with the light.(AM)
17 For all of them, midnight is their morning;
they make friends with the terrors(AN) of darkness.(AO)
18 “Yet they are foam(AP) on the surface of the water;(AQ)
their portion of the land is cursed,(AR)
so that no one goes to the vineyards.(AS)
19 As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow,(AT)
so the grave(AU) snatches away those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them,
the worm(AV) feasts on them;(AW)
the wicked are no longer remembered(AX)
but are broken like a tree.(AY)
21 They prey on the barren and childless woman,
and to the widow they show no kindness.(AZ)
22 But God drags away the mighty by his power;(BA)
though they become established,(BB) they have no assurance of life.(BC)
23 He may let them rest in a feeling of security,(BD)
but his eyes(BE) are on their ways.(BF)
24 For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone;(BG)
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;(BH)
they are cut off like heads of grain.(BI)
25 “If this is not so, who can prove me false
and reduce my words to nothing?”(BJ)
